I disagree with you. Having Harry falsely think he has power because he is too arrogant to know it is good for our side.
I think the face of the 2012 election is Harry Reid and Obama. Harry will be worse than Pelosi this time around trying to get his Dem colleagues in order. It will be fun to watch.
Someone remind Schumer, Reid, and co, that they just hung or are about to hang /Baghdad Bob for making such threats to a knowing populace.
I respectfully disagree with your conclusion. Obama, Reid & the Dems will be very vocal complaining about anything and everything the Repubs are suggesting or doing. And, the liberal media, who are probably right now thinking they didn't give their brethren Dems enough cover with false stories for this election cycle are going to kick into overdrive for the next 2 years.
And if you don't think so, just think back to what went on during Bush's second term. The Dems have always been the better stop at nothing political street fighters. Nothing said today by Obama, Reid, Durbin or Schumer suggests they are really going to change their agenda or tactics.
Time will tell whose got the most accurate read of the tea leaves.
